Understanding you
The BV Pulsera is a powerful mobile fluoroscopy
system for the most challenging surgical-and
interventional procedures. The powerful pulsed
technology allows you to go the distance in longer
studies, capture moving antomy and see through
your largest patient
SmartVision, a highly advanced, full digital 1 Kx1K
imaging chain in combination with unique state-ofthe-art image processing algorithms (including
BodySmart and Automatic Shutter Positioning)
provides you with high quality images at the lowest
possible dose.
The ultra compact Mobile View Station perfectly
fits in the surgical workflow. The unique intelligent
viewing concept of the Mobile View Station
provides the user with easy transportation, easy and
intuitive system set-up and optimal viewing
capabilities.
The interventional powerhouse comes with a 9"or
12"image intensifier, and can handle the most
advanced interventions as well as all routine and
special procedures:
•Cardiovascular procedures
(peripheral/abdominal/cerebral, interventions)
•Orthopedic surgery (fractures, fixation)
•Abdominal surgery (cholangiography,
urological exams)
•Neurosurgical procedures (pain
management, vertebroplasty)
•Thoracic surgery
Whatever your situation, the BV Pulsera shows
everything you need to see during surgical- and
interventional procedures.

Advanced functionality
Everything you want to do
The BV Pulsera consists of a mobile C-arm stand
and a Mobile View Station. It offers a choice of Xray and imaging functionality, as well as a variety of
options and accessories. The functionality of the
complete system is described in the following pages
and the text that is important for you depends on
the system configuration chosen.
Mobile C-arm stand
•Ultra compact foot including pushbar and
handles for easy maneuverability and positioning
of the stand.
•Compact, counterbalanced C-arm provides all
required projections.
•Extended rotation: C-arm rotates a full 135º
•C-arm has a very low lateral position.
•Rear wheel steering concept for easy
maneuverability and positioning of the stand
•Dedicated parallel movement with ergonomically
designed handgrips for easy positioning alongside
operating table.
•Source to Image Distance (SID) is 100 cm.
•Streamlined user interface for easy control during
procedures.
•Cable deflectors brush aside any floor cables.
•System includes footswitch, handswitch,
radiation indicator.
•Remote control
•Laser alignment tool
•Ergonomically designed C-arc handles guarantee
easy C-arc positioning.
X-ray generation
•Rotating anode X-ray tube with excellent cooling
rate for the most demanding interventional
procedures.
•Pulsed Acquisition Mode
•Pulsed Fluoroscopy Mode
•Because of the integrated pre-filter, the compact
converter X-ray generator ensures a homogeneous
X-ray spectrum with the lowest possible skin
radiation.
•BodySmart will find the region of interest, define
the optimal measuring field and follow the region
of interest, ensuring optimal kV/mA settings and
resulting in the best possible image quality.
•Anatomically Programmed Fluoroscopy (APF)
sets fluoroscopy parameters automatically,
providing consistent image quality for every
examination type.
•Automatic High Penetration for optimal image
quality in heavy objects even in the steepest
projections e.g., lateral hip.
C-arm steering with parallel movement for positioning alongside
operating table
The ultra compact foot
ensures easy maneuverability
and positioning of stand.
